Review by: Tara Poilievre on Aug. 16, 2011 : star star star star star
This story is full of fast-paced adventure from the start. Set in modern times, it's funny and keeps you wondering, what will they do next? The characters are great, some even a little excentric - but that makes the story that much better!
A great read for those who love a good Race for a Treasure!
